22/ “Philip says he “looked ahead 10 to 20 years and saw ourselves older and possibly without family, with diminishing ability to travel, in a country where I didn’t see whites, let alone Jews, being a priority.”

26/ this is unsurprising to those of us who have been writing about Zionism and white supremacy

28/ The sham is falling apart.

32/ Israel’s education ministry: “Such integration may harm the cultural and family roots of the students and create a unification of cultures in a manner that would erase and blur the identity and the community from which they come.”

33/ a reminder- Israel is a Zion*st (not “Jewish”) state that works against threats to Zion*st interests, including from Jewish citizens.

All those who ran interference for Israel in the early months of the genocide are complicit. This includes outlets like Haaretz and scholars such as Omer Bartov, who even published in the New York Times to dismiss genocide claims, only to suggest it became clear by March 2024. 1/
2/ Unless they acknowledge their role, they are engaging in historical revisionism to shield themselves from accountability.
3/ This is crucial because the current genocide is the direct outcome of Zionism’s long-standing implicit genocide, not an aberration that can be pinned solely on Netanyahu.

Israelis should expect the same treatment Germans faced during WWII. This is not about Judaism, it is about a genocidal settler state and the arrogant impunity with which its citizens present themselves to the world.

To avoid this Israelis should wear “free Palestine” t-shirts
Zionism should be denounced everywhere just like Nazism was.

It may mean “different things to different people” but its manifestation since forever is genocidal and discriminatory.
This’ll make a lot of liberal Zionists uncomfortable, who will likely blame “antisemitism”.
So be it. Another reason to deconflate Zionism and Judaism

Neuroscientists already know a great deal about how the brain and body respond to chronic trauma and stress. Research on Holocaust survivors, as well as animal studies on chronic social defeat from rats to primates,

2/ has mapped out many of the pathways, neurotransmitters, hormones etc involved. What remains largely unknown, however, is what happens after a person commits atrocities, after dehumanizing entire groups and enacting violence upon them.
3/ For instance, the neural correlates of soldiers who later take their own lives, such as within the Israeli military, are likely distinct from those of conventional trauma victims, though they may share certain overlaps.

I honestly don’t get people who say they’re “tired” of separating Zionism from Judaism, as if it’s some favor they’re doing for Jewish people.

This isn’t about protecting anti-Zionist Jews. That’s small potatoes compared to the function of the conflation.

Short 🧵1/
2/ It’s the responsibility of anyone on the left who can identify the real enemy of the working class, in the Global south and BIPOC within empire in particular: white supremacy at the behest of gangster capitalism. The conflation serves this enemy.
3/ Not conflating Zionism with Judaism isn’t charity, it’s correct leftist analysis, rooted in a long, proud tradition and a (perhaps “the”) key to dismantling Zionist propaganda.

Trial balloons are a common tactic for regimes to test public reaction before rolling out policies of aggression and theft. This has long been central to Zionist settler expansionism and has only accelerated since its genocidal campaign starting October 7.

The western liberal class, spanning all identities, bends over backwards to avoid confronting its own privilege and complicity in white supremacist genocide.

Short thread 🧵1/
2/ Nowhere is this clearer than in the pitiful mea culpas of liberal Zionists and the eagerness of their peers to forgive, forget and move on, during a genocide no less!
3/ No amount of narcissistic guilt, shame and self flagellation will obscure the only solution- dismantlement of Zionist white supremacy.

Not “peace,” not a “broad movement,” not “coexistence” or any sort of laundered wordplay on bothsideism in which these criminals
